By now most of you know that I just turned 45. I'll be honest, initially the number was freaking me out. But as I've reflected on getting older, I've gathered some perspective on aging. I believe age is a mindset. I don't believe I'll become old at a certain age, I'll become old when I stop trying . . .

This is such an exciting time of year though sometimes I have trouble jumping into the holiday spirit. But I know that by making an effort to schedule time for holiday family activities we are creating a lifetime of memories and possibly starting or continuing traditions our own kids may decide to . . .

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is receiving holiday cards from family and friends. It's the one time of year where we race to the mailbox just to see the holiday cards that were just delivered. I know many of us stay in touch through social media but we still have friends who are . . .

Lunch With A Girlfriend began in 2017 over lunch with a dear friend who encouraged me to share my discoveries on style, health, and wellness during my years as a stay at home mom. I believe in addition to raising healthy and confident kids, motherhood is an opportunity to be the best version of you.

In motherhood, our friendships take on new roles: we are conspirators, confiders, and confidence builders. I love my lunches with girlfriends. They inspire me and give me the courage to try new things. I hope that Lunch With A Girlfriend will stir that within you too. After all, life is not about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself.

Born and raised in Michigan, I moved to Washington, D.C. after graduating college. A recovering lawyer, I was a congressional aide before deciding to stay at home with my three kids and make Arlington, Virginia my place of work. I love to make connections, build my mom network, and share a good tip with a girlfriend (over lunch, of course).
